In this day and age, with technology, no one works alone — that’s how Soonr sees it. And it’s a key part of the company’s offering: collaboration. Another is portability, and with the launch of the 3.0 version of its software, Soonr is expanding in both of those areas.
And this update comes complete with an attempt to leverage two of the hottest things out there: the iPhone and netbooks. Soonr launched its iPhone app back in January, and despite supporting some 800 phones, the company still touts that one as a key part of its business. And netbooks are a slightly newer phenomenon that the company is now mentioning as fitting in to what it’s trying to do. Sure, Soonr works on netbooks, just like it works on other computers. But buzz-worthy products aside, the key idea is that you can access your documents from a huge variety of devices, no matter where you are.
And version 3.0 offers some updates. One is called “Projects.” It allows users to better organize specific files together in the cloud. Another new feature is an admin interface so that team leaders can better oversee the collaboration going on. Another lets users send faxes from a mobile device with eFax. There is also support for video playback and a completely revamped UI. But the biggest new feature has to be the search functionality. It promises to work not only on titles of documents on your local machine/phone, but also will search text within documents across the entire network of devices attached to the files in the cloud.
For the first time with the 3.0 release, Soonr is offering a premium version of the product itself. Previously, it offered a free version, and premium versions through various partners. But apparently, it’s moving away from the white labeling idea, and trying to make money by selling the product on its own. For the premium version, prices start at $7.95 a month, but users can add a lot of options for higher fees. If you need it, you can get 2 terabytes of cloud storage for your documents.
I’m a little wary of the buzzwords, but Soonr has a solid product, that simplifies working with documents in the cloud. This looks to be a nice update to it.
Fucking wank banana need to update ASP

Whoa, whisky tango foxtrot.
The thing that really drew me to Soonr is that it is so much more than backup – there so many online backup offerings out there. With Soonr you can actually do something with the files you have backed up in the cloud, such as viewing them on your iPhone or forwarding to others. 3.0 looks like its offers even more in terms of features, the concept of organizing into projects and their efax integration sounds pretty compelling.
Yo MG dude,
Your write-up reads like their press release with jargon flying hither and tither. Can you break it down so that we get their punch-line/key offering in the first para?
Thanks, MG.

I have used the service since and been very happy with it, I just upgraded to the new version and I love it. This is not Twitter or facebook, simply a good service for anyone who has a laptop and a smartphone and is on the go.
